Another tried and tested prawn recipe

Another simple yet a whole hearty recipe. Coming from my mother, this is a tried, tested and a very tasty dish. This has no recipe as such. It is all by instinct or by what appeals to ones palate. The best way is to do a taste test when you are done preparing the marinade. The marinade makes use of the simplest ingredients that I am sure will always be available in the pantry.


The marinade consists of ground ginger, ground garlic, lots of pepper and salt to season. Stir them to form a paste. Do a taste test at this stage and adjust as per your taste. Marinate the prawns and set aside for an hour or so. Ideally, when you have time on your hands, marinate the prawns and freeze or refrigerate for a later use. In doing so, the flavours seep in really well. All you have to do is shallow fry these prawns and you have a wholesome dish to enjoy. For a more classier touch, shallow fry them in coconut oil with a lot of curry leaves. I enjoy the aroma and the flavour of any food that is enriched with coconut oil and curry leaf. Which Keralite wouldn't?
